fast as it can be done. Contractor
E. L. Wilson of Belton, had men tear-
ing out some of the burned parts last
week getting ready for the work or
repairing to start. The contract calls
for better construction and finishing,
in several places than was in the
building before the burn, we are told.
Among the improvements to be made
is that the walls about the boiler and
fuel rooms are to be of brick instead
of frame and plaster as before. The
ceiling above these rooms are to be ol
concrete, which will make them prac-
tically fire proof; and had they havt
been of this construction before the
fire, could have and would have, been

In order to afford every Texas cot-
to grower opportunity to enter the
State-wide "More Cotton on Fewer
Acres" contest the final date for en-
try has been set for August 1. This
will give all those farmers a chance
to enter who got a late start in plant-

they were out of the running. Many

BAPTISTS ASSOCIATION MEETS
On Tuesday the workers council of
the Baptist Asociation of Wiliamson
county held its monthly meeting at
Round Rock at the tabernacle. The
meetinp was held under the direc-
tion of Rev. T. C. Jester of Taylor,
chairman of the association. In the
morniner a splendid talk by Rev. C.
A. Dickson was greatly enjoyed. Old
residents of this place will remember
Rev. Dickson as pastor of the Bap-
tist Church here eighteen years ago.
Also a talk by Rev. W. D. Boswell of
Grander was enjoyed by all.
About 12:00 o'clock a delicious
chicken dinner was served to eighty-
five persons. About 45 visitors were
present from Granger, Taylor, Friend-
ship, Weir, Georgetown, Liberty Hill,
Florence and Schwertner.
After noon a business meeting was
held in which great plans were made
for an Evangelistic campaign thru-
out the association. After a short talp
by Rev. J. A. Hall of Florence, Rev.
M. A. Gary of Waco made a short
but interesting talk on Evangelism.
Rev. Gary will also be remembered
by old residents as he was a mission-
ary in this county several years ago.
At 4:00 p. m. the meeting adjourn-
Monthly reports of the police and
sheriff departments in Texas and oth-
er Southwestern States show the re-
covery of hundreds of stolen auto-
mobiles and thousands of dollars
worth of other stolen property.
But where are the thieves ?
These reports make no mention of
tlw number of arests made of auto-
mobile thieves, and our court records
show but few trials and convictions.
The thieves seem to escape with
ease. They steal an automobile and
sell it, then the officers go out and
take the car from the innocent pur
chaser who has been fixed up with a
forged bill of sale to make the deal
appear legitimate.
Police and sheriff departments make
numerous other reports of the dis-
covery of stolen goods. They seem
to know just where to go to recover
stolen goods, but one seldom hears
of a "fence" being arrested.
It is logical to presume that if it
were made dangerous to buy ^tolen
goods there wouldn't be so much
stealing, but because these "fences"
ocasiontlly tip off the police to a
thief who hapens to be in bad stand-
ing with the "fence," their friendship
seems to be cultivated. Then again
the citizen who has been the victim
of a thief is so overjoyed at the re-
covery of his property that he feels
more like giving the officer a medal
than he does insisting that the re-
ceiver of the stolen goods be arrest-
ed.
Get the . "fences" and much prog-
ress will have been made in making
thievery unprofitable. It is a fine
thing to recover a few hundred stolen
cars, but wouldn't law-abiding citi-
zens get a thrill to hear of the arrest
and conviction of a few of the thieves.

Austin Sunday.
Carl, who was brought here and
placed in charge of physicians at The
Oaks, local sanitarium, by his broth-
er, does not seem to remember any-
thing that has happened during the
past ten months, or since his disap-
pearance from Austin, when his cloth-
ing was found on the banks of Lake
Austin, near the dam.
Sheriff W. D. Miller is to inter-
view Carl Tuesday. The man was
found at Barstow, Ward county, wan-
dering around the town. Papers in
his pockets indicated that he was
from San Antonio. Barstow police
comunitated with San Antonio po-
lice, and Carl's brother's were noti-
fied.
"Carl remembers nothing," Miller
said Monday night.
'He continually repeats the name
of some physician, and we have been
trying to connect that name with
some State institution, but so far
we have been unsuccessful. He does
not know where he came from, nor
deos he remember where he went
after leaving Austin some time ago.**
Carl's condition is said to be ser-
ious, due to worry and lack of treat-
ment during the past several months.
Tags, buttons and identification of
any kind have been cut from Carl's
clothing.

A Mistake in Identity
In I he town where 1 was rearet
there was a combination barroom ant
lunchroom for colored only, known af
the Bleeding Heart saloon. It stoof
at the foot of a street near the head o;
the wharf and was a favorite resort
for river darkles. Among Its regului
patrons wua a brawny Individual, sb

Ingly broad, who answered to the pei
name of Red Hobs. Red Uosa posei
as a bud man. lie let on, as the phrase
runs, that he was the undertaker's best
friend. To be sure there was no recori
tliat he actually had ever destroyed
anyone, but he frequently promised to
do so, and was rated as dangerous by
the resident colored populace.
One night the Cincinnati and New
Orleans packet on her way south land

sengers was a small yellow man, a pro
fesslonal prize lighter from up North
On the journey down the river he had
introduced his own private set of edu
cated ivories Into the crap game among
the roustabouts, with the result that hi
now had all their money In his posses
sion.
Dapper, trim and slim, he climbed
the wharf and entered the Bleeding
Heart and called for a Jolt of sloe gin
He was in the act of paying for th«
drink with the top film of a delectablj
fat roll of green bills when the swing
ing doors were thrust violently asundei
and in stalked Red Hoss, slightly intox-
icated and therefore doubly belligerent.
His lowering, bloodshot eye swept th«
interior, then focused with a greedy
stare upon what the slender strangei
held in his hand.
Lurching slightly, he swagged up t«
the bar and gripped a huge soiled paw
on the lapel of the little yellow man'i
coat.
"Say Ussun, pusson," he stated. "You
better turn dut bundle of sof money
over to me, an' 'en 1*11 give you back
wliut part of It I thinks you should
have fur yo'se'f."
"Who Is you, may I ast?" Inquired
the visiting nobleman in gentle ac
cents.
"You better ast!" growled Red Hoss.
"Finding out who I is meks yo' chancel
fur llvln* longer, all de brighter ef you
aims to stay round dese parts; You
lists me who I is, huh? Well, I'se goin'
tell you. I'se de new town bully, tha's

of dis town an' w'en a strange nigget
lilts yere he mos' gln'elly hands me
over whut spare change he's got an'
tha's his life insho'ence. So—"
He did not finish the sentence. Stupe-
faction and rage tied his tongue tem
porarily as the audacious stripling with
a jaunty gesture brushed fre^ of the
detaining clutch and turned to the bar-
keeper, saying pleasantly:
"Mist' Barkeeper, 'at shorely wui
very tasty gin. I thinks I'll tek me one
mo' slug outen de same bottle, ef you
please."
Red Hoss recovered liis faculties.
With a berserker bellow he swung with
a huge list for the little man's Jaw.
The jaw was not there when the flsl
Whizzed past. The pugilist ducked,
and came up expertly with a short arm
Jub which landed exactly on the point
of Red lloss' chin. There was a Jai
as a large inert body struck the floor.
Three minutes later Red Hoss slowly
and dizzily roused himself. Some Good
Samaritan had restored him to con-
sciousness by sluicing a bucket of wa-
ter over him. Dripping and dazed, he
sat up, holding his aching head onwitli
both hands. The little man stood al
the bar blowing softly npon the
knuckles of his right hand and con-1
versing with the barkeeper upon thi.
topics of the day.
' "Mister," quavered Red Hoss, "who

"Me?" said the stranger, "Oh, I ii

No World'a War Need Apply
Immediately following the Spanish-
American war a story Went the
rounds regarding a volunteer who suf-
fered grievous hardships, first at
Chlckamauga, then at Tampa, then In
Porto Rico and wound up by having
a spell of slow fever. One night,
when he was convalescent but still
shaky, an officer passing through the
hospital ward overheard the Invalid

was saying. "I've fought for her and
If 'twas necessary I was ready to die
for her. But If I get out this mess
I ain't never goin' to love another
country as long as I live!"
For this ancient yarn there la a
companion piece of comparatively re-
cent vintage. A battered veteran of
the regular army, who had been
wounded at Chateau Thierry, waa
visited by a chaplain. The latter In-
quired regarding his well-being and
expressed the hope that the soldier
would live to wear the uniform for
a great many years to come.
"Well, padre," said the old-timer,
"bo far as I'm concerned I'll tell you
how the thing stands: Before this
